The plants bounced back after the defoliation and a watering with Squid concentrate and some water that had banana peels soaked in it for a few days. I just got the Fox Farms trio of nutes and will introduce those on the next watering.....probably tomorrow. Now, to search for what the light patches on the leaves are. Hmmmm?
My two Grandaddy Purple Autos are light green/yellow in color. Is a lack of nitrogen the cause or is it something else? What do you recommend to fix the issue?
Light is too close too soon. Apparently the others did not take the time to look. You got light stress. Should be at 14 to 16 inches in heavy flowering.
